Saskatchewan Travel Blogs

Background: A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada's paramount political problem is meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; support for separatism abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

2006 in Retrospect

North America » Canada » Saskatchewan

Wow I've been home a month already! I just kinda gave up on the whole blog thing at the end of it all (it was too hard to admit that it would be over). Right up until my plane took off from Bangkok I was in denial about coming home to a winter blunderland. I've heard that many people who travel for a long period of time suffer from a bit of depression upon being home again for a while. In my case it's true. I barely care to leave the house. I'm sure that will pass as I find a [View Full Entry]

Dennie plays drums

June 20, 2006- Someone famous once wrote " We saw stars and waves, we saw sand too, and despite many crises and unforseen disasters, we were often bored, just as we are here." People travel the world in search of adventure and happiness, but no matter where they are and who their with on this rock, the universal restlessness of the human spirit prevents them from being completely satisfied. Some would say that if travel and adventure only create a a thirst for more travel then why not stop, save your money, find someone to love and get on with the [View Full Entry]

two effing days

North America » Canada » Saskatchewan » Regina

Here it is folks, the start of my ridiculous journey/ adventure into the unknown. I'm taking a break from packing my backpack to drink tea, make a nice marinade for some tofu, and eat a few olives. I've been spending the last few days procrastinating the fuck out of getting ready to go. I've been waking up early in a panic about leaving and then sitting around and doing nothing. I spent half an hour today playing fetch with the dogs after spending the previous half hour watching a rerun of Degrassi: the next generation. Prior to the TNG I watched [View Full Entry]

through the prairies...

North America » Canada » Saskatchewan » Regina

rollin' over the prairies

Geoff and I have found ways to occupy ourselves on the long drives… we play music, listen to books on tape, Geoff does his business, and we play rhyming games. Following our Wednesday in Winnipeg we had to get an early start to get to Regina. The drive was the first true drive through the prairies…. We saw nothing for miles except for wheat, farmhouses, telephone poles, and pickup trucks. And some cows. Winds were high, so we had to be careful about a cross wind that might cause us to sway a little bit, but other than that, the travel [View Full Entry]

the highs and the lows

North America » Canada » Saskatchewan » Saskatoon

the new van

"Well the last 3 weeks have been an interesting time filled with highs and lows!!! The pictures should tell the story from beginning to end so if you are not in a reading mood look at the pictures and you will see our highs and our lows!" The main aim of Saskatoon apart from at vast amounts of alcohol consumption with our rancher friends was to purchase a van in which we could sleep and travel in. So we set out on our quest only to stumble upon a lovely $400 for Econoline van. We took it for an extensive test [View Full Entry]

Farewell to Nova Scotia ....

North America » Canada » Saskatchewan

The Bluenose
She is on the back of a dime (prior 2001)and she won many races for Canada.

Nova Scotia - Canada's Ocean Playground (as their license plate says) Indeed the province is almost surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. A province of 1 million people (Sask size) - mostly Celtic (Scottish and Irish) origin, 18% French Acadians, 4% Blacks and 20,000 Mi'kmaq'. The Mi'kmaq of course were here first, the French were the next settlers but most were expelled by the English in the great deportation in 1755, some to Louisiana where they became Cajuns (southern term for Acadians). The Blacks are from the post-slave era in the Caribbean and 13 colonies of the States. An interest [View Full Entry]

Newfoundland News

Twillingate

Newfoundland - Sept 15/16/17/18 We arrived on The Rock, stomachs settled but somewhat tired, in Port aux Basques at 6:30am, that is, 7:00am NFL time. It was actually a smooth crossing. We have only 4 days to spend here because we are booked on the ferry from Argentia on the other side of the province on Monday. It only runs once a week, on Mondays, at this time of year. So we have to make decisions on what we can see in 4 days. It's a necessity to go through Corner Brook on #1 highway - the only way to the [View Full Entry]
